Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 68

Faced with the rare strictness of his father and mother, Mo Qianrui chose to be a good girl.

For two days in a row, she didn't even go out of the yard, so she stayed at home cooking and cleaning, and also took care of Erya and Lingniang.

There were people coming and going from Li's house all the time, but it seemed that because Meiniang didn't think of Lingniang anymore, no one came to Mo's house to lead people.Ling Niang is also well-behaved, not only does not cry or make trouble, but also often helps Yi Yi do some work within her ability.

In the evening of this day, Dad brought back two pieces of news.

The first one is that the only son of the old Zhang family was finally buried, and he was buried on the back mountain.

The other is that, with the strong approval of most villagers, the old Zhang family was expelled from Yangliu Village.The few acres of Susukida in her family were compensated to the Li family, and then the Li family took part of the money to compensate those who were also injured that day.

The reason why the old Zhang family was expelled was actually very simple.

It's not that the wrong things she did are unforgivable, but because she is a lunatic.

Let alone this era, even in Mo Qianrui's previous life, lunatics were extremely hated by others.Especially the kind of crazy people who can hurt people when they go crazy.

Mo Qianrui had already guessed this result, but still couldn't help but sigh secretly.

For the old Zhang's family, for her son, and even for Meiniang who suffered innocently.

"Father, on what day was this new daughter-in-law returning home?" Thinking of Meiniang, Mo Qianrui naturally remembered what Uncle Li's family had said to comfort Meiniang that day.

"It doesn't matter what day it is, there are so many poor people in the country."

Choked by Father's words, Mo Qianrui still insisted on asking: "Then when did Auntie come back?"

Unexpectedly, my father just rolled his eyes: "Your mother didn't bring the dowry back then, and even our family's dowry was corrupted by her brother. Your grandma was so angry that she didn't let her come back at all. I remember... as if you only went back to your natal home after you were born."

Choked to death again, Mo Qianrui gave up looking for answers from Father, but planned to ask Mother at night.

A Niang is more reliable than Dad. After hearing Mo Qianrui's words, she didn't answer immediately, but thought about it carefully.

"The average rural family doesn't pay much attention to it. It's the same any day when they return home. They usually bring some eggs as a gift, and there are also wealthy families who directly bring a chicken. If they are more particular, they will be there Come on the third day, sixth day, ninth day after worship, or even after a full month."

A Niang spoke carefully, and Mo Qianrui listened carefully.

Seeing that A Niang finished speaking, she hurriedly asked: "What day will most people choose to return home? Has A Niang ever met a rich family marrying a daughter?"

"When you said that, I remembered. It was when I was a child, probably not as old as you. At that time, the head of Liujiazhuang married a daughter. My father was a steward of the head, and the lady of the head It seems that she came back after a full month of marriage."

"Is this respect or disrespect?"

Hearing Mo Qianrui's question, Auntie laughed.

"Silly girl, what does this respect and disrespect have anything to do with when you will return home? I remember that the lady of the main family married quite far away. It is said that it takes three days to ride the fastest carriage back and forth. However, the young lady of the main family married very well. That's great, on the day she returned home, two carriages were loaded just for her return ceremony."

"A return gift?"

"Yes, most people just bring some rice noodles or eggs. If a girl returns home with a chicken, it's considered decent. However, our country people are incomparable with the lady in charge. Don't look at it." There are so many dowries in the Li family, it can't be compared with the Miss Master's family. I heard that her dowry property alone has hundreds of acres of land, and every dowry box is filled with silver ingots."

Seeing Mo Qianrui's perplexed expression, A Niang didn't hesitate to explain.

"The dowry box must be pressed with money. Most people use big iron coins, like Li's family uses copper coins. It is extremely rare to directly press silver ingots."

"Are there any gold-pressed ingots?"

"I've never heard of this before. One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which is ten hanging coins. If this is exchanged for big iron coins, it will be [-] pieces! Besides, this money can't be one piece. All four corners have to be pressed well. Girl, think about it, if the box is packed with gold ingots, wouldn’t it mean that one big box is equivalent to pressing [-] big iron coins? If there are seven or eight boxes, the family still has Do you want to live? Unless you burn too much money."

Mo Qianrui hurriedly nodded in agreement, but she was thinking about Tang Yanxiu's cousin's dowry.

The Tang family must be the one that Aniang said was too much money to burn. For the 120 dowry, even if the gold ingots are not pressed, the silver ingots are not bad.

Well, in the evening, she turned the dowry boxes in the space upside down, vowing to take out all the money!
But the facts proved that Mo Qianrui still underestimated the Tang family's financial resources.

Staring at the heavy gold cake in his hand, Mo Qianrui was speechless for a moment.

She just went to search for the dowry with a fluke mentality. She thought that if she could find a few silver ingots, it would be a worthwhile trip, but she didn't want to open a box casually and peek into the corner...

A golden cake came out.

The gold cake is not very big, nor is it very thick, its size and shape are similar to the Su Yue that she used to eat in her previous life.

Of course, this amount is much heavier than a Su Yue.

Putting the gold cake aside, Mo Qianrui continued her journey of treasure hunting.

Because he knew from A Niang in advance that the box money was placed in the four corners of the box, Mo Qianrui didn't have much trouble finding it.It's just that the number of dowry boxes is too huge, Mo Qianrui only swept through about fifty boxes, and couldn't straighten up.

"Xiaorui, you are... Huh? Gold?"

Seeing that Tang Yanxiu also came in, Mo Qianrui hurriedly caught up with the strong men, and briefly explained the matter of the box money, focusing on the location of the box money, and then escaped under the pretense of going to cook.

Tang Yanxiu took over this huge project helplessly, but he couldn't finish cleaning up until Mo Qianrui prepared the meals.

After dinner, the two of them continued to sweep until the money in the dowry box at 120ba was cleaned up, and then they sat down back to back exhausted.

Finding the money in the box is not a laborious task, but it is also a hard job because it needs to maintain a bent posture and stretch the arms straight to the bottom.

But now, all the gold cakes in the press box have been taken out, and they are placed beside them like a hill.And those gold cakes are all carved, each gold cake looks similar in shape, but if you look carefully, you will find that each has its own unique features.

The shape of the gold cake is like Su Yue, but the patterns on it are different from Su Yue.There are patterns carved on each of them, including flowers, fish and birds, and auspicious clouds...

In short, the patterns carved on each gold cake are completely different.

The only similarity is probably that the patterns above all represent auspiciousness.

Taking a gold cake casually and examining it carefully, Mo Qianrui reckoned that the patterns carved on it alone might also be the handicrafts of famous masters.

Tang Yanxiu was already so tired that he collapsed to the ground. Mo Qianrui worked every day anyway, but he was a young master who didn't work hard.Seeing Mo Qianrui playing with the gold cake with great interest, he asked feebly: "Xiaorui, how do you know there will be gold in my cousin's dowry box?"

"I didn't know there was gold in it, and I didn't know it was such a heavy gold cake!"

Although he wasn't sure, but he probably knew that a piece of gold cake weighed at least half a catty based on the feel of his hand, and Mo Qianrui felt very sad immediately.

You can figure it out, there are four gold cakes in a dowry box, and there are five hundred and twelve yuan in the 120 dowry box!
And each piece of gold cake weighs at least five taels, if this is converted into big iron coins...

Forget it, she's not good at math, so don't embarrass yourself.

Even if the final result cannot be calculated, Mo Qianrui knows that this is definitely a huge sum of money.

In the past, it was thought that those dowry boxes contained exquisite utensils or cloth jewelry, but Mo Qianrui didn't have a very intuitive feeling.Even jewelry, she couldn't estimate its value.But gold is different, what A Niang said before is very clear, one tael of gold can be exchanged for [-] big iron coins!
Thinking of this, Mo Qianrui suddenly became depressed.

"Yanxiu, tell me, why isn't your cousin's press box money a big iron coin? Why do you think it is?"

Hearing Mo Qianrui's resentful words, Tang Yanxiu felt ashamed.

"My family doesn't use big iron coins to distribute the monthly bills to the maids. Even if you clean the maid for the last time, you can get fifty copper coins a month."

As soon as the words fell, Mo Qianrui's faint eyes shot over.Seeing that Tang Yanxiu panicked, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Rui, don't be like this, is it possible that this gold is not as good as iron coins and copper coins? I guarantee that all these gold cakes are yours."

"I can see it, but I can't use it. What do you say? Even the system doesn't support the use of gold."

Regarding this, Tang Yanxiu was also very helpless, he really had no way to get big iron money.

Fortunately, Mo Qianrui just complained casually, and didn't really take it to heart.

Besides, she now has so many gold cakes, even if she can't use them for the time being, they are comfortable as decorations.Thinking of Tang Yanxiu's cousin losing such a large dowry, Mo Qianrui smiled instantly.

Such a happy thing, it is natural to share it with Tang Yanxiu.

"It's not easy for your cousin to have so many gold cakes. After losing the dowry, it's just a disease of qi. It's really rare. I think she's not directly pissed off, but she's already showing a heart. widened."

"Hahaha……"

Tang Yanxiu really hated his uncles, aunts and cousins. Hearing what Mo Qianrui said, he laughed so hard that he completely collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Sure enough, the old saying is still there, I feel relieved when I see that you are not doing well.

Thinking that it was getting late, Mo Qianrui casually tossed the gold cake to the side, and was about to say goodbye to Tang Yanxiu, but suddenly froze.

"Yan Xiu, that golden cake..."

"Gold is indestructible, it's getting late, you go to bed."

"No, Yan Xiu, look at the back of the golden cake."

Following Mo Qianrui's finger, there was a piece of gold cake lying on the ground a few steps away, but it was face down and upside down. You could clearly see that there were two rows of uneven characters on the back of the gold cake.
